‘What’s time got to do
with it? Art once created with
passion deserves a second chance for the limelight.’

An artist’s life isn’t easy;
you know the repeated rejections and vagaries of style which come and go faster
than designers parading on a catwalk.
A-side B-side Gallery in London’s east side, recently celebrated
rejection with an exhibition of works which had been, Rejected. The
title, says it all.

Independent artist and
curator, Jane Boyer, invites the artists of Rejected, to ask ‘What’s time got to do with it? In
an unusual move of inviting artists from one show to continue in another of a
different, but related theme, Boyer has continued the celebration of rejection
to include a second chance for work which has passed its ‘use by’ date. “All of us have work we’ve shoved in a
corner and is gathering dust because we feel it’s no longer current,” says
Boyer. “But who decided that,” she
continues, “a work of art is best judged by other criteria not the artificial
limitation of a date.”

On the heels of Rejected, a show celebrating rejection at A-side B-side
Gallery, comes ‘What’s time got to do with it?’ a show which removes the artificial limitation of a creation dateat Core@Nolias Gallery. Art once created with passion deserves a second chance for
the limelight.
